Varning för felaktiga offer och bestämmelser om blod
17 Herren talade till Mose: 2 ”Säg till Aron och hans söner och alla israeliterna: ’Detta har Herren befallt: 3 Den israelit som offrar en oxe, ett lamm eller en get i eller utanför lägret 4 och inte för fram det till uppenbarelsetältets ingång som offergåva till Herren inför hans boning, drar på sig blodskuld. Han har utgjutit blod och ska utrotas ur sitt folk. 5 Således ska israeliterna som nu offrar på fälten i stället bära fram sina offer till Herren, till prästen vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet och offra dem som gemenskapsoffer åt Herren. 6 Prästen ska stänka av blodet på Herrens altare vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet och bränna fettet som en välbehaglig doft för Herren. 7 De ska inte längre offra till bockdemoner[a] som de varit otrogna med. Detta ska vara en bestående stadga för dem från generation till generation.’
8 Säg alltså till israeliterna: ’Vare sig det är en israelit eller en utlänning som bor bland er som frambär ett brännoffer eller slaktoffer 9 utan att föra fram det till ingången till uppenbarelsetältet där det ska frambäras till Herren, så ska han utrotas från sitt folk.
10 Och jag ska vända mitt ansikte från den person som äter något med blod i vare sig det är en israelit eller en utlänning som bor hos er. Jag ska utrota honom från hans folk. 11 För varje varelses liv finns i blodet och jag har gett er blodet till att stänka på altaret till försoning för er. Det är blodet som ger försoning därför att det är liv. 12 Det är därför jag sagt till israeliterna att varken de eller utlänningarna som bor bland dem ska äta blod.
13 Den som går ut och jagar vare sig det är en israelit eller en utlänning som bor bland er och dödar något villebråd eller en fågel av något slag som får ätas, måste tömma ut blodet och täcka över det med jord, 14 för varje varelses liv finns i blodet. Det är därför jag har sagt till israeliterna att de aldrig ska äta blod eftersom varje varelses liv är i dess blod. Den som äter blod måste utrotas.
15 Var och en, israelit eller utlänning, som äter köttet från ett självdött djur eller från ett djur som dödats av ett rovdjur, måste tvätta sina kläder och bada och förbli oren till kvällen. Därefter är han ren. 16 Men om han inte tvättar sina kläder och badar, är han skyldig och får ta sitt ansvar.’ ”

New International Version
Eating Blood Forbidden
17 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons(A) and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘This is what the Lord has commanded: 3 Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox,[a] a lamb(B) or a goat(C) in the camp or outside of it 4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the tent of meeting(D) to present it as an offering to the Lord in front of the tabernacle of the Lord(E)—that person shall be considered guilty of bloodshed; they have shed blood and must be cut off from their people.(F) 5 This is so the Israelites will bring to the Lord the sacrifices they are now making in the open fields. They must bring them to the priest, that is, to the Lord, at the entrance to the tent of meeting and sacrifice them as fellowship offerings.(G) 6 The priest is to splash the blood against the altar(H) of the Lord(I) at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(J) 7 They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols[b](K) to whom they prostitute themselves.(L) This is to be a lasting ordinance(M) for them and for the generations to come.’(N)
8 “Say to them: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice 9 and does not bring it to the entrance to the tent(O) of meeting(P) to sacrifice it to the Lord(Q) must be cut off from the people of Israel.
10 “‘I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood,(R) and I will cut them off from the people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood,(S) and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.[c](T) 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.”
13 “‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth,(U) 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”(V)
15 “‘Anyone, whether native-born or foreigner, who eats anything(W) found dead or torn by wild animals(X) must wash their clothes and bathe with water,(Y) and they will be ceremonially unclean till evening;(Z) then they will be clean. 16 But if they do not wash their clothes and bathe themselves, they will be held responsible.(AA)’”

Leviticus 17
King James Version
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,
3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
